Where the Wild Things Are

About a month ago I decided I would try fishing for native brookies. I made four trips out in pursuit of them over the last month, one of which I wandered deserted forest roads for a couple hours in search of my car afterwards. Cell phone GPS has a way of only working when you know where you are.

    Natives are a hoot. Some really nice scenery out there, too. You get the best of both worlds when you're on the native prowl.

    I wont be fishing for wild trout this weekend, but thanks to this thread, ive been inspired to drive a little farther away, to somewhere a little more remote, and probably catch smaller fish. But i think it will be a lot more fun just being away from it all.

    never nice strain of brooks. The one with the gill exposed and missing bottom jaw looks to have been through heck.

    An additional challenge to native fishing is to not take bait or flies with you, just use what you can find along the stream: worms, beetles, salamanders etc. They kill salamanders. Anyone ever use a salamander fly pattern?
